My MythTV-Setup
I am currently running a backend/frontend combo.
I switched to a separated frontend/backend configuration. This took a looong time, but finally everything is working as before.
Backend
My backend serves as homeserver. All my pcs boot from network using tftp.

- 2 GB RAM
- Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 (64-Bit Mobile CPU)

- 2x 160 GB harddrives using software RAID0 (os, important files, ...)
- 2x 300 GB harddrives for recordings, movies, music, ... (less important files)

I removed the Harddrive and use PXE to boot from network.

ToDos
